Baked Salmon with Mustard - Crumb Crust

Searching my Epicurious app for a salmon recipe and --- here it is.  Amazingly, I had all the ingredients on hand. Where we live, there's not much chance of getting a good quality salmon, so the salmon we buy is frozen pacific salmon and it needs flavor added.

First the mustard sauce:  2 Tbls. plus 1 tsp. white vinegar, 2 Tbls. sugar, 2 Tbls. Dijon mustard,
1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard, 1/3 Cup light olive oil.  Put vinegar, sugar, and both mustards in the blender.  With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil and blend until a medium thick sauce forms.  This can be made a day ahead.  Chill.  This sauce is the bomb!

Preheat the oven to 375, prepare a baking dish, lightly oiled.  Arrange the salmon skin side down.  Season with salt, pepper, and dill.

Next, drizzle some of the mustard sauce over the pieces of salmon.

Press panko bread crumbs over the salmon filet, covering completely.

 If you don't have panko, just use regular bread crumbs.

Bake salmon until cooked through and crumb topping is crisp and browned.

 Serve with some steamed veg and additional mustard sauce.

Enjoy friends!
